Alert Function: Your Emergency Alert Radio will
sound an alert tone when it receives a weather
emergency broadcast from NOAA.  

7 Weather-Channels: Allows you to select one of
the 7 NOAA weather broadcast channels. (Note:
The channel that gives you the best reception may
not be the station that broadcasts information for
your location or county. Check with NOAA/NWS
for the correct channel and station).  

AM/FM: Allows you to listen to your favorite AM
or FM radio station. 

NOTE:
The radio must be in ALERT mode to receive the
NOAA Alert signal.

The WX-17 is designed for portable operation.

In portable and non-portable operations, the best
location is the one that can clearly receive the
NOAA weather broadcast.

The best location to install the unit is:

- Clear of any obstructions or metal surface.

- Near windows of large openings for best radio

reception.

- Near an AC Power Outlet (if desired).

- Near to where the user(s) would normally stay

— e.g. in a bedroom, kitchen, or in an office.

Keep the radio away from interference sources-
e.g. motors, computers, TV’s or microwave ovens.

To avoid damage to the product, do not expose 
to direct sunlight, extreme heat or humid 
environments for prolonged periods.
